Best Seared Salmon Recipe with Avocado Remoulade

Best seared salmon recipe

This has to be the best seared salmon recipe I have tried in a long time. Coupled with this avocado remoulade it was amazingly fresh and simple. The avocado remoulade whips up in a flash. The addition of the fresh lemon juice in the remoulade is fresh and zesty.

Best Seared Salmon

Wild caught Atlantic salmon is one of my favorite menu choices. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, this is a very healthy fish.  I have long ago stopped eating any kind of farmed fish, which is high in the not so good omega-6 fatty acids. According to the wildely available, limitless studies conducted there are many more pro’s associated with wild caught fish than their farmed counterparts. Antibiotic consumption is one of my bigger fears. Humans are reportedly becoming more and more immune to antibiotics due to the fact that we are consuming so much of them through our food supply. It is definitely time to reevaluate and reform our eating habits. Start now.

For this reason alone, I am a huge pie fan.  

Pairing a slice of pie with a nice little side salad makes for a heatlhy fulfilling meal that I would gladly serve to my family. Another bonus is being able to put ingredients together in a crust and clean up the kitchen while it cooks. When I am finished eating, all that remains are forks and plates. Can it get any easier?
